Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Watch out Victorians

    Looks like more speed cameras are coming your way ...

    An influx of new speed and red light cameras on Victorian roads will reduce deaths and injuries, the state government says.

    if these cameras were all about public safety and aweness of driving blackspots why not signpost them and paint them orange?

    why not also commence a campaign for the true causes of accidents and target those - kids fighting in cars, driver training, fatigue, phones, the terminally stupid, lack of concerntration, 18 year old Commodore drivers,

      Agreed - it's all about the money.

        When this makes no difference to the road toll (which it won't) they will double them again citing the toll as the reason.

        The real reason is the treasury is bare due to incredibly excessive wastage, and the junkets still need to be paid for.

        Motorists are the softest targets.

              Roads Minister Tim Pallas said the campaign was designed to reduce the road toll and reduce serious injuries by 30 per cent by 2017 and boost community safety.
              Hmmmm 2017, this guy will either be relaxing in his new $300,000 job on the board of the speed camera manufacturer or wallowing in another role by that time and everyone will have forgotten the ridiculous manufacturered and unmeasureable figure of 30%.

                30% in 6 years? That's a poor excuse for a goal...

                    Oops! Thanks for that correction, don't know what I was smoking...

                    But still, would expect that sort of result in 3 years.
